Unfortunately PBM does not make a set of coilovers for this chassis. I'm not a big fan of BC to tell you the truth. I've been in a few friends cars with BC's installed, and I wasn't wild about the way the rides felt.

I'm still thinking about Stance or Function Auto, but I'm interested in the front cup setup. The exchange rates are terrible, so I'm not hyped at the $3K US that I'm staring at. I figure if I can get my hands on something cheaper in Japan, I'll bite. I've got a few ideas after speaking to a few vendors, and shops while in Japan. DMAX, GP Sports, Largus/Blitz, Tein is what's on the short list...

Can it really be that cheaper from Japan? I have Stance coils on my G35 that I daily drive, and so far I cant complain. The dampening adjustment is pretty noticeable too, but dont take any advice from me.

Definitely would not take suspension advice from someone who uses dampening in place of damping.

Honestly you'd be surprised. I'm talking half of the price of a new set. I won't feel bad spending that amount since the blown rears was an unexpected surprise, and I want to get it sorted sooner then later.

It just sucks that it will cut into money that I was planning to spend elsewhere. Oh well, car builds and all of that...

I've been looking into making the engine setup a bit cleaner, and simple so I'm looking into deleting the J-Pipe. I'm running into mixed information of needing a tune versus not. Some say that once they deleted it, their cars stall or die at idle. Others state that they have had no issues. The problem is people are using mixed kits or piecing them together so I can't narrow issues down to a specific setup.

Currently speaking to a bunch of Aussies and people from Europe about it. For now I will run the intake pod and continue to do research. Right now I think I'll grab the complete setup from HPI. I like what I had seen in Japan, and I love that it includes all of the hoses, clamps, and caps.
